Bichette has key double as Blue Jays beat Yankees 4-1 and extend home win streak to record 11 games
Toronto won 10 straight at its former home, Exhibition Stadium, from July 21-Aug. 3, 1985.
Alejandro Kirk had two hits as the AL East-leading Blue Jays won for the 17th time in 21 games.
Since a three-game sweep of San Diego in late May, the Blue Jays have won 23 of 27 at home.
Yankees third baseman Oswaldo Peraza and shortstop Anthony Volpe both made throwing errors that led to runs in the fifth.
Volpe has 12 errors this season. San Francisco shortstop Willy Adames entered play Monday with a major league-leading 13.
Giancarlo Stanton led off the fourth with his fifth homer, but that was all the Yankees got against Gausman (7-7). The right-hander allowed four hits, struck out eight and walked two, winning for the first time since June 26 at Cleveland.
Brendon Little got one out in the eighth, leaving with two aboard. Yariel Rodríguez came on and retired Stanton and Jasson Dominguez.
Jeff Hoffman struck out the side in the ninth for his 24th save in 28 chances.
New York's Carlos Rodon (10-7) allowed four runs (two earned) and six hits in five innings.
The Blue Jays intentionally walked Aaron Judge after Trent Grisham's two-out double in the third. Gausman then struck out Jazz Chisholm Jr.
Key moment
George Springer walked to begin the fifth and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. singled before both scored on Bichette's double into the left-field corner.
Key stat
Toronto's Davis Schneider hit nine foul balls in a 14-pitch at-bat against Rodon in the fifth that ended with a popup to Volpe.
Up next
Blue Jays RHP Max Scherzer (1-0, 4.70 ERA) is scheduled to start Tuesday against Yankees RHP Cam Schlittler (1-0, 5.06).

Tomoyuki Sugano throws 6 sharp innings, Tyler O'Neill homers again to help Orioles beat Rockies 5-1
BALTIMORE (AP) — Tomoyuki Sugano pitched six innings of four-hit ball, Tyler O'Neill homered in a third straight game and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Colorado Rockies 5-1 on Sunday. Dylan Carlson drove in two runs for the Orioles, who followed Saturday night's 18-0 blowout with a more conventional victory in the deciding matchup of a three-game series between last-place clubs. Sugano (8-5) gave up one run, walked two and matched his career high with eight strikeouts. The 35-year-old righty, who signed a one-year contract with Baltimore in December, could be headed to a contender before Friday's trade deadline. Although he was impressive on Sunday, Sugano has yielded 21 homers in 20 games and had a 7.88 ERA over his previous seven starts. After languishing on the injured list from mid-May to early July, O'Neill appears to have found his stroke. Three of his six homers this season came in this series, including a two-run drive in the third inning Sunday off Austin Gomber (0-5) that made it 4-1. Colorado's lone tally came on a solo shot by Warming Bernabel, his first homer in the majors after making his big league debut on Saturday. The Rockies own a 27-78 record, same as the 2024 Chicago White Sox after 105 games. Those White Sox didn't win No. 28 until ending a 21-game skid on Aug. 6, and finished with a single-season record 121 defeats. Key moment Baltimore added a run in the eighth when Gunnar Henderson hustled from second base to home on a wild pitch that catcher Austin Nola was slow to retrieve. Key stat Half of O'Neill's 26 hits this season have gone for extra bases: six homers, six doubles and a triple. In addition, six of his 17 RBIs this season have come in the last three games. Up next Rockies: Bradley Blalock (1-2, 8.67 ERA) starts Monday in the opener of a three-game series at Cleveland. Orioles: Zach Eflin (6-5, 5.78) takes on the AL East-leading Toronto Blue Jays at Camden Yards on Monday night. ___ AP MLB:

Fever's Sophie Cunningham represents Arby's in unprecedented outfit before WNBA game
Sophie Cunningham always makes a statement with her pregame outfits for the Indiana Fever. On Sunday, Cunningham went with a bit of a different approach. She shouted out Arby's, the fast food roast beef chain. MORE: Sabrina Ionescu loses her mind at a ref There isn't an official record of this, but this has to be the first Arby's shirt ever worn on the way into a WNBA game, or maybe a professional sports game anywhere, anytime. That's what they call trendsetting. Cunningham has grown her fanbase greatly in her first season with the Fever, thanks to her talent on the court, her enforcer-like tendencies at times, and her popular social media accounts. And now, she's taking a new approach to the pregame 'fit. MORE: Sparks announce latest plans for Cameron Brink injury return
